Artists plan nationwide US protests against Trump and ‘authoritarian forces’

Michael Moore, Lynn Nottage, Ava DuVernay and Amanda Palmer will take part in an event series to ‘unite in defiance’

The Guardian
I think Jennifer Egan was already one of my top 5 (at least) favourite authors of all time, but "The Candy House" is just breathtakingly brilliant. The imagination behind this book is amazing - it's madly inventive, surprising, covering a huge breadth of experiences, but most of all it's enormous fun.
This highlighted sentence relates to the music business, but of course is not limited to it.

Finally getting around to Jennifer Egan's latest, "The Candy House", a sort-of sequel to "A Visit From the Goon Squad", but set in tech rather than music circles, centering around authenticity, memory, and the allure of new technology.
And it's already (unsurprisingly) brilliant, who else comes up with a term like "word casing"!

#finishedReading Jennifer Egan's The Candy House. Do I know what it is about, apart from what a reviewer has said: riffs on memory, authenticity and the allure of new technology. No. Did I really like reading it? Yes, it kept pulling me through so that I was surprised how quickly I got to the end.

"A Visit from the Garbanzo Squad"
By Jennifer Egan

#JenniferEgan #fiction

#FinishedReading it's been more than a decade between A Visit From the Goon Squad and its sequel, so my memory is a bit vague on the characters that connect them, but this set of interlinked short stories, told in a variety of voices and styles, stands up well on its own. #Bookstodon #JenniferEgan
I just finished ‘The Candy House. There were many interesting concepts that sparked my #curiosity. #JenniferEgan Disciplined Restlessness https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-interview/jennifer-egans-disciplined-restlessness #read #novel #books #fiction #literature #TheNewYorker

"I think there are ways in which we censor ourselves; that's the most dangerous kind of censorship - that's how hegemony works." - Jennifer Egan
